Default noise while using AUX

I noticed the other day a whining high pitch tone when I accelerate while listening to music via AUX input.

Is it the connection or the cable? Of not, is it covered by CPO warranty? I couldn't find anything affirming in paper copy of the warranty.

Any input would be great...

I notice a whining noise when I accelerate too, but it's only when I have both my AUX and my charger plugged into my iPhone.

this.

free fix under warranty. They install a ground loop isolator behind the AUX jack inside the center console.

I assume u are using ur phone to play music. If you have a charger plugged to your phone while playing music w the aux cable it will make that noise. So unplug your charger

I had to take my car twice,
First time they said that they installed filter.
Sounded fine,
then i was charging my phone and listening i had a lot of static,
Had to take it to dealer again, and they Fixed it.

As soon as i got in the car, i tested, after 5 seconds my charger stop working
he changed fuse, again, worked for 10 sec and stop charging(light went off)

I said, bye bye, call me when it's ready.

Next time I came everything was good( 4 month ago).

Sorry for semi jacking this thread but so noise is something the dealer would fix? Mines a CPO so would the warranty cover it? It doesn't really bother me since I figured all I had to do was not charge my phone while using the aux but hey if the dealer is gonna fix it for me for free.99 why not?

If you're covered under CPO, TSIBs are free. You just have to ask and be able to replicate the problem.

I use this cable with an inline ground loop isolator. Eliminates the whine in my 08.
